At the very moment this week’s Thursday quiz launches on the website, the quizmaster fully intends to be supping a pint of beer at Stansted airport en route to Istanbul, and will presumably overfly Syldavia on the way. In between packing their books on Byzantine history, reading the rules on transporting feral hogs and fretting about the prospect of someone the size of Gary Barlow’s massive son reclining the seat in front of them, they still found time to write 15 questions on topical news, obscure pop culture trivia and general knowledge for your delight. Allons-y!
